Description
Summary:The growing prevalence of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) poses a challenge for schools, requiring them to implement specific methodologies to respond to the difficulties these students encounter. The TEACCH system is one of the most widely used approaches to address the needs of students with ASD, although few studies have determined the effectiveness of all its components. To systematize research based on this model, a fidelity measure of the application of the methodology is key. Such a measure could provide data on the intensity of application and homogeneity with which the methodology is implemented in classrooms or schools. The aim of this paper is to offer the Spanish adaptation of a fidelity questionnaire, the TEACCH Fidelity Measure (Hume et al., 2011), a fundamental tool for assessing the effectiveness of this methodology in future research.
